Another Russian Ammunition Warehouse Blows Up in Kherson

On July 18, the Nova Khakovka district police department (Kherson region) confirmed an explosion at a warehouse understood to be a Russian ammunition depot used by the occupiers. A video of the explosion began to appear on social media.

This follows a large-scale explosion in the same area last week. On July 12, the Ukrainian operational command confirmed the destruction of a Russian warehouse containing ammunition.

“According to the results of firing missions by our rocket and artillery units, the enemy lost 52 militants, rocket launchers, a howitzer “Msta-B,” a mortar, seven units of armored and motor vehicles, and a warehouse with ammunition in Nova Kakhovka”, – the official message stated.

It is not the first time that a warehouse containing Russian ammunition has exploded in Russian occupied territories. The Ukrainian side reports that missiles from the HIMARS system caused the explosions. Ukraine received this new weapon from the U.S. in June, which allows the Ukrainian Army to shoot over longer distances.

Ukrainian intelligence is actively working on identifying Russian ammunition storage sites, military equipment, areas of weapons accumulation, and supply routes for advanced Russian units.

“It is necessary to destroy Russian resources right on the battlefield and to bring down the offensive pace of the Russian Federation,” – said a representative of Ukrainian intelligence, Vadym Skibytskyi.
